The area
function of a positive-valued function f on an interval [a, b] is the
area of the region bounded by the graph of f, the interval [a, x] , and the vertical lines
through a and x. It is denoted 
and is an antiderivative of f.
In the animated figure, A
(x) is the area of the
shaded region as x
increases from a to b.
